Full Moon Nightmare

I HATE full moon nights! I just do. According to a superstition, sleeping under a full moon is bound to bring on nightmares. I NEVER believed that. The moon is supposed to have an influence on us in some way, at least that is what I've heard.

Every full moon night, it's the same freakishly disturbing dream over and over again. It starts off in one place- the same place every time. The place is safe for the moment and I have a sense of belonging. After that, it escalates into a nightmare. Things go bad pretty quickly.

The worst part is waking up and thinking about it the whole day. The 'safe' place is what really irritates me. In my dream I have knowledge of where it is and what it means. I am familiar with it and know everyone who is there. But when I wake up, I have absolutely no idea where that place is. I have seen it before.

The logical part of me disagrees though. Dreams are supposed to be a culmination of thoughts and memories stored in the subconscious. They are the result of things that haven't been fully processed in the brain and are just pieces of a puzzle.

So it's completely frustrating to wake up and wonder which pieces were used to create that place that  draws me in even after I've woken up. More importantly, why do I only see that place on a full moon night?

Cannot wait for that dream to fade into total oblivion.

The Limehouse Golem- My take on the movie with spoilers!

PLOT SUMMARY: When Elizabeth's husband is found dead, all fingers point to her. But is it really her or the work of a serial killer? If like me, you’ve read hundreds of mysteries and are enthused about Sherlock Holmes tales, THE LIMEHOUSE GOLEM is actually pretty predictable. Set in the Victorian Era, it promises to instil fear in you. Before Jack the Ripper, there was Golem- such is the tagline and you do want it to be the kind of movie that keeps you guessing until the very end as to the true identity of the killer.   Unlike the Jack the Ripper legend, Golem is easily recognizable in the very first instance the character is introduced.

Delirium (2018)— My take on the movie with spoilers!

PLOT SUMMARY: After leaving the asylum and put in house arrest, Tom begins to believe the house is either haunted or he is hallucinating.  Most times, when we think about criminals, we wonder what could possible have prompted them to fall into a life of crime.

Look Away— my take on the movie with spoilers!

Plot Summary: A bullied girl switches places with her reflection. She soon regrets her decision as people start dying.  What matters most? Looks or confidence? When we see someone for the first time, we do notice their looks, the way they dress. Personality and their ability to initiate and hold a conversation comes second, doesn't it? Imagine meeting someone who is good looking but is dull to the core. Now imagine someone with average looks but is someone you can have fun with or have an intellectual conversation. Which seems more attractive? Look Away takes a very bold stand where appearances are concerned. But also about self-confidence. In the end, the only argument it makes is that one cannot possess both attributes. LOOK AWAY Movie Plot  We are introduced to a timid girl, Maria whose father is a plastic surgeon. Her mother is shown to have no say of her own. She is left to watch her husband ridicule his daughter about not being careful with her looks. Maria has a friend Lily
